Elmer Ferguson, the owner of the Old Timber Inn passed away at age 89 earlier this year. Before graffiti took over, this sign on the side of the building simply read ‘Fish Logs’ in black san serif letters on a yellow background for as long as I can remember.
Like Maya, I never tried those fish logs before it shuttered, but her rumination on the matter goes deeper.
…if there’s something you’d like to do, you should probably just go ahead and do it. You might regret doing it, but you’ll definitely regret not doing it. And it might not be important but, actually, most things we do aren’t very important. That doesn’t mean they’re not worth doing.

There’s more to the quote in context of her photograph.
